Whole Heaven – Creating Shangri La in Occupied Tibet

Shangri-La is a fictional utopian paradise, most famously described in James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon. It’s often depicted as a mystical, harmonious valley hidden in the Kunlun mountains of Tibet, where people live long, peaceful lives. The concept has become a metaphor for any earthly paradise, a secluded and idyllic haven.

Tibet Awareness. Tibet’s Quest for Full Independence. Knowing Tibet. Institution of Tibetan national Identity.

In my opinion, Peace, Harmony, and Tranquility will get reestablished in Tibet when the Kingdom of Heaven replaces the Communist rule over Tibet.

NATURE NURTURES TIBETAN IDENTITY OF TIBETAN NATION.

While The Division of Heaven and Earth by Shokdung is about resistance within Tibet, A Life Unforeseen by Rinchen Sadutshang is about the author’s work for the government in exile

Shokdung is the pen name for Tra-gya. It means the “morning conch.” The translator, Matthew Akester, thinks it is meant as a wake-up call for Tibet, a call for a peaceful revolution against Beijing’s iron-fisted rule on the Tibetan Plateau. Indeed, the message of Shokdung takes the readers back to the 19th century when a powerful West confronted and encroached upon a weakened Manchu China. This humiliating encounter between East and West resulted in agonized soul searching among Chinese scholars on how to forge an effective response. Some scholars blamed the dead weight of tradition and Confucianism for China’s inability to confront the Western challenge. They pointed to two gentlemen, Mr. Science and Mr. Democracy, who could save China from further humiliation.
The argument Shokdung advances in his brave book is that Tibet is similarly weighed down by tradition and Buddhism. These two forces prevent Tibetans from developing an effective response to Beijing’s rule. His is a brave book because Shokdung writes from Tibet. It is a brave book in another sense because Shokdung targets the most cherished tradition of Tibet, its spiritual heritage, to the consternation of the spiritual establishment in Tibet. The American Chinese scholar, Dan Smyer Yu, calls Shokdung’s views on Tibetan culture “an anti-traditionalist imagining of modern Tibet.”

Shokdung shot to fame in Tibet and around the world in 2009 when his book The Division of Heaven and Earth was published. According to Tibet scholar, Francoise Robin, who provides a foreword to the English translation, “The book, with an initial print run of 1,000 copies, circulated unhindered in Xining and all over Tibet for six months, until the author was arrested on 23 April 2010.” Shokdung anticipated his arrest when he said, “I may lose my head because of my mouth.”
Shokdung’s comments on the nature of the party state in Tibet are brutal and unrelenting. That is why he got into trouble with the authorities. Shokdung writes, “We can see that there is no greater terrorist than the totalitarian regime… In particular, the terrorism of sealing down the bodies of the common Tibetan people, sealing up the mouths of the eminent ones, and sealing off the minds of the unthinking population, and the methods of state terrorism are something they have been practicing for the last half century, so who can deny that it is their basic character?”
Shokdung writes that Tibet’s salvation lies in organizing a coordinated non-violent civil disobedience movement. “Whether or not there will be a Tibetan Gandhi, whether or not Satyagraha has any foundation there, whether or not non-violent non-cooperation will produce results, this we cannot know without an unfailing prophecy; but if the answer is to be affirmative, that prophecy is something that each Tibetan must keep in their heart. This is my belief.”
While Shokdung is a rebel and dissident who is fortunately now out of prison, the late Rinchen Sadutshang life was one of service to Tibet both within the country and in exile. He belonged to the fabulous Sadutshang family, which once dominated the wool trade ferried on the mule train between Tibet and India for final export to America and Britain. The family had a huge wool godown in Kalimpong, which was later transformed into a school for Tibetan refugee children.

Rinchen Sadutshang career in the service of the Tibetan government began in 1948 and spanned what his daughter calls “the defining moments of Tibet’s modern history.” This included the loss of Tibet and its labored and painful reconstruction in exile. Because he enjoyed the benefit of a modern education at St Joseph’s College in Darjeeling, the author was involved in all the critical events to prevent Tibet’s current fate. As His Holiness the Dalai Lama writes in his foreword to the memoir, “He accompanied the Tibetan delegation to Beijing in 1951 when the Seventeen-Point Agreement was signed. Later, he was a member of the Tibetan delegation to the United Nations in 1959 and 1961.”
The Tibetan representation at the world body resulted in the UN General Assembly passing three separate resolutions on Tibet, the last being in 1965, that called on China to respect the fundamental human rights of the Tibetan people and their right to self-determination. The Tibetan lobby at the UN, against all odds, managed to raise the issue of Tibet for discussion and debate at the highest international level. Given the Tibetan exiles’ lack of firepower both in resources and manpower, this is an achievement to be proud of.
Later, the author was inducted into the Kashag, the highest executive body of the Central Tibetan Administration. He rounded off his career as the representative of His Holiness the Dalai Lama in New Delhi who liaises with the government of India.
As for his career in the service of the Tibetan people, Rinchen Sadutshang had this to say. “By the early 1980s, I had given the prime years of my life to the service of the Dalai Lama and my government. When I first started to work in Dharamsala, my salary was seventy-five rupees a month, barely enough to meet my own personal needs, let alone the needs of my family. Although my salary gradually increased, if I hadn’t had some money of my own, my family would have suffered. I had a wife and six children, but I put the needs of the exile government before theirs. As I mentioned, the government of Bhutan had offered me a potentially lucrative position, and the Indian Central Bureau of Investigation also offered me a good job. But I declined both opportunities because of my loyalty to my country and the Tibetan government in exile, which was sorely in need of officials who were familiar with India and who could communicate in English.”
Thubten Samphel is the director of the Tibet Policy Institute and author of Falling Through the Roof.

In my opinion, Peace, Harmony, and Tranquility will get reestablished in Tibet when the Kingdom of Heaven replaces the Communist rule over Tibet.

Whole Dude – Whole Centipede

Whole Dude – Whole Centipede

What are Centipedes?

Scolopendra gigantea is a Centipede, a Creepy Creature that can arouse a sense of Fear. However, it behaves like a Saint; its reproductive behavior is Innate Behavior and is not a Learned or Acquired Behavior which may require the ability called Communication Behavior. The Centipede does not communicate its sexual desires to members of the same or opposite sex. It reproduces without ever expressing its sexual passion to another Centipede. It depends upon the LORD GOD Creator for its reproductive success and uses a hereditary, natural mechanism that does not demand Copulation with another member.

 Centipedes are described as invertebrate animals that belong to Class Chilopoda, Phylum Arthropoda. It is important to note that Phylum Arthropoda is the largest and most diverse group of invertebrate animals. This group makes up more than 80% (800, 000) of all known animal species.

The First Book of Moses, Genesis, Chapter 1, verses 24 and 25 describe the creation of cattle, beasts, and everything that creeps upon the Earth.

Centipede has an elongated, flattened body that is divided into head and trunk, and the trunk comprises of segments. They move rapidly on from 14 to 177 pairs of legs. The average number of legs is 35 pairs, one pair per segment except for the first one segment and the last two. The appendages of the first segment are modified into jaw like claws equipped with poison glands with which it paralyzes its prey. The last pair of legs is pincer-like. The smaller centipedes move fast running with the body held straight. The larger variety move relatively slowly and show sinuous movements. These animals typically remain hidden by day under stones, dry leaves, bark, and ground litter and hunt small insects at night. The small centipedes are harmless to humans. The larger centipedes could pose a severe risk. Its sting may not kill man but could cause severe pain, burning sensation, redness, and swelling. The largest tropical species Scolopendra gigantea may reach a size of 12 inches or 30 centimeters. It will be interesting to know the difference between insects and centipedes. Insect has a body that is divisible into head, thorax, and abdomen. The term ‘true bugs’ is used to describe insects with sucking mouth parts and with forewings thickened toward the base. The term ‘worm’ is used to describe a variety of slender, soft-bodied animals such as the earthworms. Centipedes may not be described as bugs, insects, or worms. However, it will be correct to call them as creepy creatures as they move along with the body close to the ground and exhibit a creeping movement that is similar to the movement displayed by a snake. In common usage, the word ‘creep’ is used to describe a thing that arouses a sense of fear.

As the Book of Genesis suggests, God may have created a variety of creepy things before creating man in His own image. Man has rational, and moral nature like God’s and man has no inner impulse or drive to sin. Man has free will to obey God’s will. There is nothing in man’s environment that can compel man to sin. But, man could be solicited to disobey God and to commit sin. The solicitation to sin could only come from outside.

The “Fall” of man is narrated in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 3. The voice of ‘The Serpent’ that deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden was the voice of Satan, the adversary of both God and man. The voice of ‘The Tempter’ comes to man from outside himself and hence man has to live with a sense of fear and be cautious while contacting creepy creatures. Centipede could be an exception as it solicits no man to perform immoral, and corrupt sexual acts.

Lord Centipede is the name of a music band that is very popular with a lot of young people living in Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area. I would not be surprised if this music band gets international acclaim and recognition. They deliver music with a sting; its nasty but enticing. Young people love it as the music provokes them to experience life with sharpness.

The Centipede that interests me is called ‘Whole Centipede’. He has the nature of a Centipede that I have described but he has also the ability to sing and play musical instruments. He could be one of those fallen angels; the bad angels who had participated in a deliberate, self-determined rebellion against God and got expelled from the Heaven. Some of these bad angels spent over thousand years living in abyss and have returned to planet Earth as they cannot return to the Heaven. By nature, these bad angels get attracted by a variety of creepy creatures and often reveal themselves in the bodily form of those creatures. Satan, the Leader of fallen angels is extremely wicked and he reveals himself in the bodily form of ‘The Serpent’. The ‘Whole Centipede’ has revealed himself in the bodily form of a human being, and is known as ‘Sir. Samir’, or ‘Lord. Sameer’. During day time, he is mostly pleasant and his nature is revealed during his music shows and performances. He can literally bite you with his music and song. He mercilessly punches people with his lyrics. He arouses a sense of fear when he sings and plays. However, the ‘Whole Centipede’ is not immoral, or corrupt like other bad angels. He acquired a good characteristic from the Centipede Class to which he belongs.

Centipedes are a class or group of Arthropods that do not exhibit the sexual, or reproductive behavior called ‘Copulation’. The male centipede does not copulate with a female centipede or with another male. It does not need a female and has no requirement called ‘cohabitation’. There is no direct bodily contact between the male and female centipedes. Male Chilopoda spin a small web onto which they deposit a spermatophore for the female to take up. Sometimes there is a courtship dance, sometimes the males just leave them for the females to find. In other words, the male centipede sleeps alone and the bed or ground on which it lays remains clean as its sperm is deposited in a small web from which the female gets the sperm.

The ‘Whole Centipede’ has this behavioral trait and he prefers clean, bed linen that are not soiled or stained by activities like copulation. Further, he shows a sense of passion, a strong urge, intense drive, and very deep motivation to maintain his bed linen in a clean, and good condition at all times.

These admirable qualities and behavioral traits of Centipedes to avoid copulation have helped me in selecting him for a new assignment in the ‘Whole Heaven’, a Heaven that I am creating. He will be appointed as the Director of Housekeeping Services and Housekeeping Operations in the ‘Whole Heaven’ where the Heavenly Maidens are prohibited from providing Housekeeping Services for they have the task of serving Heavenly Pleasure. In the ‘Whole Heaven’ the daily operations require a change of bed linen at least six times on any given Heavenly Day with no Holidays. It is a very demanding task and the high standards of Heavenly Service stipulate that the bed linen must be always be clean, and fresh while the Heavenly residents enjoy their Heavenly Pleasures as per the schedule planned by the Director of Front-End Operations. Only a ‘Whole Centipede’ who has no desire for engaging in copulation can provide such important Housekeeping Service with a total sense of Dedication. Whole Dude is very optimistic that the ‘Whole Centipede’ would soon be promoted and be elevated to the status of  ‘Saint Centipede’ for rendering excellent service with a sense of Devotion and Dedication.

Whole Dude says that in Whole Heaven we need Whole Discipline and Whole Dedication to obtain Whole Pleasure. What do you want to say?
